The man, John Damasceno, 18, formerly of Woodside Avenue, also faces charges of first-degree assault and conspiracy to commit first-degree assault in the case.

Judge Susan Reynolds set bond for Damasceno at $200,000 Friday and continued the case to June 6.

Damasceno and another man implicated in the shooting, Raymond Rivera, have been behind bars since early April after their arrests in connection with another assault five days later at the Food Bag at 63 Main St., police said.

Rivera, according to Judicial Branch records, was charged April 24 with two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree assault. His bond in that case was set at $150,000 and he will return to court Thursday on that case and three others.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit written by Det. Paul Carroccio, Damasceno, Rivera and several others were driving around drinking 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor March 27 when Damasceno said he wanted to go to the Virginia Avenue residence to fight a teen there who he had an "ongoing problem" with dating back to last April.

On March 27, the Virginia Avenue teen told Carroccio he got a call from his brother who said that Damasceno, Rivera and "some other guys" had come to the business he worked at and threatened to kill him and his brother.

A short time later, Carroccio's affidavit said, the teen got a call directly from Damasceno threatening him and his family.

"Damasceno told him, among other things, he was going to burn his house down, blow up his house with (Molotov) cocktails, kill his mother, kill his whole family, torture his mother and burn her car," the affidavit said.

Alarmed, the teen and his stepfather went to the brother's workplace and brought him home, the affidavit said. But as soon as they did, two vehicles showed up and the "same crew" that had threatened the teen's brother got out, and Damasceno and Rivera began walking up the driveway, according to the affidavit.

Damasceno had a shotgun, the teen told police, and his stepfather said many of them had bats and knives. The stepfather told the two teens to get inside before throwing a wrench at Damasceno, the affidavit said.

Then, as Rivera yelled "Shoot him! Shoot him!" the affidavit said, the stepfather ran for cover in the garage, and Damasceno fired three blasts toward the garage.

The stepfather suffered some small welts and bruising as a result of getting hit with the pellets from one of the shotgun blasts, the affidavit said.

His lawyer Vicki Hutchinson said Friday that she anticipates representing Damasceno in the case but couldn't comment because she hadn't read the details yet.

"I haven't seen the warrant in the new file, so I don't really know anything about it," she said.
